Yeah in the end I probably agree on WebGPU, I haven't really seen a single use of it, except for running shader code examples in browser, which might as well be replaced by a looping video. For WASM though, I do not agree at all! It&#x

Honestly I wouldn't mind that, don't even really see a downside really, Hasbro can make one and the old members of the ZA/UM cultural association can make one, and I'll play whichever one is best! (Who knows, maybe Hasbr

Absolutely agree here, and this is the main reason why I'm stuck on GNOME (despite not being perfectly happy with it), and why I find it interesting how many people on the internet and here especially love using KDE so much! Don't

No I have not heard of it, and it's genuinely baffling! Which consortium thought this up? I don't see one sensible reason to do this apart from just random tinkering or malicious purposes.

Thank you so much for this link, this is extremely interesting and it really makes me wonder, consciously, I have never read this construction online before, but is this because I actually haven't seen it, or did I subconsciously write

Agh that's one of my biggest Linux regrets! Logic Pro is probably my favorite DAW, it feels so smooth to use, and that's likely connected to me using GarageBand extensively when I was a child. (I still remember "composing&quo

That's exactly what parent post is saying I believe, the conversion rate is huge, clearly, but it can't be sustainable. The point is, that even a small fraction of advertising will be moved over to this cold-DM strategy, the funne

Hah! I was so surprised to get that "lecturing" behavior from Opus 5 too, I didn't know it was more common.

I feel the same. I've always had this feeling about sites, but the recent year or so has really defined it for me: Sites that have the polished, glowing, glossy aesthetic are way less trustworthy to me than simple indieweb sites with s

Maybe I'm about to be too pedantic, but I never quite got the argument of systemd being massively bloated based on examples of it including DNS and DHCP. Sure it's a mono-repository that includes all these services, but in the end

It's very common in the language design circles, but yeah, programming language.

Think the difference is between "using your phone", meaning calling someone and audibly talking to someone, thus disrupting the movie for others, and "checking your phone", which is just looking at it, though inaudibly,

People here? Maybe. The rest of the world? I really don't think so! From what I've seen, people really don't like when these models behave robotically, they seem to want them to become indistinguishable from humans in their v

I noticed that too, I guess the content in the training data suggests that when some text self-identifies as "cold, hard logic" it additionally assumes a mean tone. Additionally it makes responses more likely to disagree even when

It even manages to lag on my one year old flagship phone! Impressive! :)

Exactly! See this is what I don't get about the Claude/GPT-style writing that's so prevalent everywhere and why it annoys me even more. It's just so easy to get rid of it, that's why it feels even more disrespectf

I felt that quite badly at the start of that war, multiple accounts closed, including my brokerage account, bank account rejected, and a flood of emails asking me to divulge loads of documentation to get them to consider giving them back to

As a sibling comment pointed out, Reaper is not FOSS, it's fully proprietary. What makes it stand out is its great Linux support, and very generous licensing. If you want to venture into the FOSS DAW realm on Linux you have to go to LM

I don't think I agree. There's nothing intrinsic about the PLC and PDS servers that tie an AT account tighter to your own identity, than an account on an ActivityPub instance in my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I&#x27

I'm pretty sure this comment is not written by AI, but those last few sentences really really made me think it is. It's a little sad that this type of antithesis now always has this AI-written connotation to it. "That's

What does Apple gain from this scenario? Just to add, I also do my work from an M1 MacBook that I crammed Asahi onto. I got it used for a few hundred dollars last year and it's a perfectly fine experience (for me).

Also, though not a benefit to you in particular, apparently any creator you watch with Premium gets a way bigger payout for your view. Only heard about this anecdotally but it seems to track.

Those comments are something... I take the most issue with the second one. I wonder if the person knows they're directly describing group-think. That's something that would theoretically get you called a "sheeple" in som

Same here, I bought my current smartphone, a Pixel 6, two or three years ago for 200 dollars on eBay, and it arrived in pristine condition. Super small bump on one of the frame edges, not a single scratch on the display though now there are

Oh wow I'd have expected them to vibe-code it themselves. Props to them, bubblewrap is really solid, despite all my issues with the things built on top of it, what, Flatpak with its infinite xdg portals, all for some reason built on D-

Yeah I think we agree. Clearly being overweight is not good and should be disencouraged, even apart from your own health, an overweight or obese person in a society just takes more a lot more resources go support, either causing a burden on

I'm also quite anti "body positivity" as it is usually espoused online, especially in relation to weight, which is by far the main focus of the movement. It feels quite self-destructive, you accept that your weight is unchang

Russia is leading the pack in banning VPNs, and they're, surprisingly, getting pretty good at it. They caught my naive attempts at trying to use Tailscale, WireGuard and OpenVPN immediately. People in government are laughing at the pop

Plasma is the desktop-mode interface for the Steam Deck SteamOS, which is the only way I use it. I'm usually a Gnome person, as I'm one of the people Gnome just "clicks" for, despite all its issues, but I've been re
